The Winners For The 2020 “Best Of Severna Park” Are…

Posted

After counting the votes for nearly 3,000 surveys, we now have the winners for this year’s Best Of contest.

To be eligible, each business must have a commercial address within Severna Park, Arnold or Millersville, and a nominee had to receive at least five votes to qualify. We had only a few categories that didn’t receive enough votes, and we are listing both the winner and the runner-up in each qualifying category.
